We teach them. That's thengoal. You sought out to learn, sure, but you were able to find the resources to learn from. You had the means and the ability to. Im saying there are people out there who dont even know to look for a better option. They genuinely have no idea about food health, where to start, or where to buy the food. Food Deserts exist. If you have never shopped at a Piggly Wiggly in the middle of a shit state in this twisted country, then I dont think you understand what it really means to be impoverished.

I grew up poor, very poor, but my family had the intelligence, the know how, and the ability to make better choices. Some people really dont have that. Its up to us to teach our communities to be better, not scoff and say things like "those are choices I make."
